Eidetic Memory Bugs/Comments/Help

    The 'Development of the Hollow' in Murkmire should be a quest item during 'Empty nest'. I did the quest ages ago, but after one of the patches it suddenly missed from my list. I've tried everything, friend did the quest and I stood next to them, search the questgivers' area, clicked on every inch of the platform, but nothing. Anyone knows perhaps a post-quest spot? This is like a 4 years old bug for me :(7xqp72n8j7lf.png

    I finished the Sorrow quest in Wrothgar years ago, and as of the last patch i just realized that what had been listed as found in my Eidetic memory for YEARS, are now listed as "missing" - CAN THIS PLEASE BE FIXED. I obviously can't get any of them again. Yes, I did go back to Sorrow, and click on the books, and while I can see the book, clicking on it does not put it back into Eidectic - I tried that already.

    Try again @Sirona_Starr , go back in Sorrow. You can find all the books you are currently missing, except Kharsthun's Translation, Second Stanza. This is lost after the last patch.

    You are correct. My bad :P I went to get the first book in Sorrow, at the entrance, and when I read it, it didn't show up as one of the missing ones being recovered in Eidectic, so I stopped there. Read it as though it was one of the missing, but it was a different name - Torug Ag Krazak, but no grunt afterwards lol. Thanks for answering :)

    hello, i just need some validation that the book "Systres History: Addendum" still out there in Galen's bookshelves?
    I've been trying for a month to find it but i've only ever found the other one with longer name.

    I'm following the data from <https://ts.uesp.net/esolog/viewlog.php?search=Systres+history:+addendum&amp;searchtype=&gt; for where to look. and frankly, why does it have two listing unlike every other books i've looked for.

    I did find this book two days ago in one of the locked houses in Vastyr. I'm still looking for Systres History Vastyr though. Same situation as you, just different book

    That's because these books have NOT been "lost" from eidetic memory: they were never IN eidetic memory in the first place, and have just been added to it. Except, the trouble is, one of them is inaccessible post-quest because it is a document that disappears upon being read during the quest, so it's impossible to go back and read it. Even if you group with a player who has not yet read it.

    Greetings i would like to report something here and in my opinion a little bit odd.

    My main character is missing this book and despite me finding it again in a bookshelf it did not credit me. Then i went to same bookshelf with another character who is missing the book. I clicked to the bookshelf and Lorebook Discovered notification popped up. But upon checking it on the lore library the book is still greyed out on my alt character as well.

    I also somehow miss these two books in Reach for my main character. No idea how to find these again after completing the respective quests. But i am pretty sure i completed these quests on the release day of Markarth.

    Can someone confirm this fix for bugged Orsinium books?

    General/Zone
    Fixed several issues with books missing proper interactable states, proper visual effect state changes based on whether you’ve read it, and/or floating above their tables/chairs/rugs/beds/bears.

    Is there still no update for "Deadric Cult, The Dread Lady's Letter"?

    Not that i can see, still missing

    I guess we have no choice but to accept that we can never have this lorebook, or wait it out. Maybe when the developers get bored, they will remember about this problem.

    Hello, I am missing these two Eidetic Memory books, found in Frostvault:

    In Pursuit of Mhuvnak
    Skeevaton Modification and Operation

    The UESP wiki says they are in the Vault of Mhuvnak, but when I go to the areas where it indicates they are on the map, they are nowhere to be found. Does anyone know if they are bugged?

    EDIT: Nvm I got them, I had to progress through the dungeon before they appeared.

    isnt that the area that u keeps coming back to when u do the dungeon, in that case i think u will find the books later in the dungeon.

    Cipher Akacirn's journal can be aquired if you are grouped with a friend on that part of the quest. Otherwise, yes. Those three are bugged.

    I miss these entries, they are books/notes that we get during quests. I was doing this quests as a duo and I didn't know then that if one person reads the book, the other has to do it alone from the inventory. I tried to do this quests with the person who currently has it, but it doesn't help, the books are not visible for me then. Support's response "read these books on another character". The sad thing is that the MMO game literally punished me for playing with someone else and that my character, which is almost 10 years old, won't get all the entries :)
